We provide the financing, advocacy, and innovation necessary to create and preserve affordable housing that will improve peoples’ lives and Oregon communities.
Network for Oregon Affordable Housing’s recent grants are centered on land acquisition for affordable housing in Portland. The largest reported award in the current grant set is $790,000 to Proud Ground, followed by $625,000 to Habitat for Humanity Portland Region and $510,000 to Bratton Development LLC, all in Portland and all tied to land acquisition. That pattern matches the foundation’s stated purpose: providing financing, advocacy, and innovation to create and preserve affordable housing in Oregon. Its active programs show a full capital stack approach, including acquisition financing, permanent loans, a revolving loan fund for middle housing, construction loan guarantees, pre-development loans, and a preservation project. The foundation also supports housing preservation through the Oregon Housing Preservation Project and backs development work that can move projects from land control to construction. Recent grants to Native American Youth and Family Center, Proud Ground, and Habitat for Humanity Portland Region point to work with land-acquisition and housing-development organizations rather than individual households. The grant set is entirely Oregon-based, with all recent recipients located in Portland.
Affordable housing preservation is a central theme in the foundation’s grantmaking. In 2025, it gave $790,000 to Proud Ground for land acquisition, and $625,000 to Habitat for Humanity Portland Region for land acquisition, both supporting housing production through property control. Development financing is another clear focus: Bratton Development LLC received $510,000 for land acquisition, aligning with the foundation’s loan-oriented programs for affordable housing projects. Community-serving housing organizations also appear in the portfolio; Native American Youth and Family Center received $350,000 for land acquisition. Beyond these awards, the foundation’s active program list includes acquisition and preservation financing, permanent loans, pre-development loans, a middle housing revolving loan fund, and a construction loan guarantee program, showing support across multiple stages of affordable housing development in Oregon.
Typical grant size is fairly consistent, with the 25th percentile at $470,000, the median at $567,500, and the 75th percentile at $666,250. The current grant list suggests one-time project capital rather than small operating grants, and the foundation’s philosophy tags also point to restricted-purpose funding and one-time capital investment. Its active programs are all Oregon-focused and none accept unsolicited applications. The recent record provided here shows 100% of grants going to recipients in Oregon, with no evidence in this dataset of recurring grantees across multiple years.
